Graduate of Mound Consolidated High School in 1947. Her close friend at the time, Roger Erickson, who went on to many years of broadcast fame at WCCO Radio in Minneapolis, described Marlys as a smart, popular girl who played the drums in the high school band and treated ev-eryone with respect. After gradu-ation she embarked on a mo-deling career for a short time and had great potential, but chose to be with her fiance, Paul, when he came home from serving in the Phillipines in WWII. They were married on August 21, 1948. During their 66 years of marriage, they raised three children and formed a wide circle of cherished friends. Marlys worked hard at supporting her husband’s banking career and, as a result, traveled extensively across the United States and Canada.
